The @latguild negotiated for shared furloughs rather than layoffs, and the united power of the @LATBlackCaucus and @LATLatinoCaucus is changing the conversation in the newsroom and in the industry https://twitter.com/LATBlackCaucus/status/1285647257916841984
Special shoutout: This week, the first newsroom I had the pleasure to professionally report for kicked off the @DallasNewsGuild. I'm excited to see these efforts and the teamwork of the journalists to make them happen. https://www.centraltrack.com/dallas-morning-news-editorial-staff-looking-to-unionize/
